Did you try going into cmos and load setup defaults. I had booting =
problems
with a few machines and that solved the problem. If anybody knows why =
this
solution works, I'd like to know.

Subject: Boot problems


I have an old HP Vectra p75 machine here. For some reason, it refuses =
to
boot after I install FreeBSD on it. The win95 installation that was on =
it
when I got it booted fine. The FreeBSD install booted fine from the
bootdisk, and it installed without a hitch. After the BIOS, nothing =
happens.
Just the blinking cursor on the screen.


Any ideas? I'm completely stomped.
